The masterful English debut of Alhierd Bacharevic, a new voice from
Belarus Alicia and her brother Avi are imprisoned in a camp on the
edge of a forest where children are trained to forget their
language through therapy, coercion, drugs, and larynx surgery. The
Leid (or Belarusian language) is considered a sickness to be cured
and replaced by the only pure form of language, the Lingo
(Russian). A contemporary Hansel and Gretel adventure, the children
escape into the forest and end up in even greater danger... A feat
of translation, Bacharevic's story is brilliantly rendered into
English and Scots from Russian and Belarusian.
